One thing the 6-foot-3, 245-pound Backman has is speed. Coming out of UAB, he ran a 4.66 40-yard dash at his pro day. That was significantly faster than what the draft’s top two tight ends -- second-round pick Maxx Williams (4.78) and third-round pick Clive Walford (4.79) -- ran at the combine last year. And it’s way faster than what Rodgers (4.87) ran in 2014.



If Backman can get it together (and the Packers went out and found a new TE coach specifically for that purpose,) then Cook might be gone next year after his 1 year deal expires. Dude was real raw and I guess "struggled" picking up the play book.

They could draft a guy and let him use this year as a redshirt rookie year, but Cook would seem to solidify the position for the time being.

“Let’s be honest, the middle of the field is open now,” McCarthy said. “League rules. Big people running down the middle of the field, I’ll make no secret about it. I think that’s a key to offensive success, whether that’s a big receiver or big tight end or a big man running down the middle of the field, making those safeties cover you. It’s an important part of playing in today’s NFL.”



We've also got Mitchell Henry in the wings.

I hope they don't invest anything more than a late-round pick on a TE. Need a lot more help on DE, WR, another CB wouldn't hurt, ILB... Much more pressing needs 🙂
